Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
VPRS 8360 Numbered Lantern Slides
No full textThis series appears to have been created by the Melbourne Harbour Trust Commissioners as a consolidated slide display on the progress of Port of Melbourne in the second half of the 19th and in the early 20th century. The theme of the slides is provided by the second slide of the P1 consignment, entitled 'The Progress of the Port of Melbourne.'<br/><br/>This series of slides was located in close proximity to an unnumbered accumulation of slides. it would appear that both VPRS 8360 Numbered Lantern Slides and VPRS 8361 Unnumbered Lantern Slides were originally part of the same group but at some early stage the slides belonging to VPRS 8360 were selectively separated into a single unit and then maintained in isolation. The unnumbered slides grew in volume over subsequent years but the numbered sequence remained static. It is because of this original intellectual and physical division between the slides that two separate series have been registered.<br/><br/>The slides are black and white, with the exception of one, which is colourized. The pictorial subject matter covered by the slides includes the following:<br/>* aerial views of the Port of Melbourne<br/>* maps of the Port of Melbourne and surrounding areas<br/>* working docks (loading/unloading of cargo)<br/>* factory sites<br/>* construction<br/>* shipping<br/>* lighthouses<br/>* divers<br/>* warships<br/>* engineering drawings of wharves, canals, sheds<br/><br/>Each of the slides has been numbered in a numerical sequence, probably reflecting the order in which the slides were to be shown. No control record had been identified at the time of transfer. In some instances numerical duplication exists, but there is no duplication of the subjects of the slides. Two slides appear to be missing; numbers 16 and 68.<br/><br/>Some of the contents of this series were used to illustrate Melbourne Harbour Trust Commissioners' publications.<br/><br/>The series date range remains undetermined as it is not certain as to when the slides were created. Further research is required to determine a date range for this series. The date range attributed has been inputed from the agencies' start date.<br/><br/>Digitised representations of these records were created by PROV during 2011 to enable public access
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
